Just A Weird Transactional Negotiation between Two 'Compossers'



Well oh well, while waiting for official announcement of another super transfer this season as we did at the very end of last summer transfer, I just wanna calm myself with this super weird conversation (please people, don’t be that serious with this one in order to let you afar from long term stress and huge disappointment if the transfer couldn't be occurred yet by this summer ;p). So guys, here it goes: 



Wenger          : Hey bro, what are you waiting for? Please give him to us soon.
Klopp            : Ah, be patient a little bit more my big brother!
Wenger          : Come on, man, the transfer window is going to an end very soon.  And we lost some players for a moment due to injury.  We need another player to support the existing squad so badly.
Klopp            : Easy brother, easy.  I just need the confirmation from United to let our ex-player reunite with us at Singnal Iduna Park.
Wenger          : Oh, then, should I ask Louis to make the process faster then?
Klopp            : I think that’s a good idea. The faster he proceeds his move, the faster you’ll get the boy that you want so so desperately.
Wenger          : Ha ha. What a ‘bad’ boy you are.  You will never regret it, man.  Just think of it as your investment if you someday will come here to replace me.
Klopp            : Me? Replace you, sir? What an honor.  But firstly I have to fix things first here.  I need to strengthen my precious team before leaving it to another manager’s hand.
Wenger          : Easy man, easy.  Take your time. I still have some years here to pay off the 8 years without nothing by at least 8 trophies or more before retired as manager and enjoy my life doing vacations.
Klopp            : Vacations sound good to a man in your age.  Well, good luck, big bro! It’s very nice to have business with you.
Wenger          : My pleasure. Wishing you and your team are lucky too.  
Klopp            : Oh ya, let’s do our best when we meeting up later at UCL’s group stage.
Wenger          : Yes, of course we should. Let’s meet up again at the top stage of that competition…with your boy with us for sure.
Klopp            : Oh man, come on, that will never been easy for everyone, especially us and our supporter to see him against us.  But, let’s see. It’s all up to him to decide whether he’ll stay or move.
Wenger          : Let him be part of us as he wishes. I already told you, you’ll never regret it. And, please take it into your own consideration to join us sooner or later.
Klopp            : Yes, sir, I’ll take that into my personal consideration. By any chance, is there any possibility to take another player instead of him? I think you understand my situation. He is one of our key player, he means a lot to us, to the team and the supporter. Letting him move will create a big missing for us. I hope you could understand.
Wenger          : I did understand your position and the situation.  But believe me he'll move now or lately at the end as happened to many of my ex-boys. In addition, I admired him a lot for long time and I just think now is the right time to ask him help us. 
Klopp            : Well..hopefully we'll get win win solution for him and for us.
Wenger          : Thank you, nice to have a talk with you.
Klopp            : My pleasure, sir.

(Easy people, easy.  It’s very nice if it’s finally being real.  However, if it is not yet, let’s hope it’s going to be realized as soon as possible. *wink*)

(Tergoda) Mantan Terindah, (Oh) No Way!

Hi, visitors, postingan ini barangkali bisa terhitung telat. Ya memang, penulis pun niat awal nya ngepost dari pekan lalu, cuman karena satu dan sejumlah alasan jadi tertunda deh.  Ya walaupun sedikit telat, tapi isisnya masih relevan kok (menurut penulis..hehe).  So, please enjoy, as usual. :)

*****

Hasil imbang lawan Besiktas di leg pertama play off Liga Champion menyusul kemenangan dramatis atas Cristal Palace di laga perdana EPL musim 2014/2015 seolah menegaskan bahwa Arsenal belum sebegitu kuat sekalipun telah disuplai dengan sejumlah amunisi anyar.  Menariknya, mantan bintang dan kapten Arsenal yang konon ditolak untuk kembali merapat ke Emirates malah membantu tim yang kini bersedia dengan senang hati menampungnya di Stamford Bridge sana  meraih hasil positif di sejumlah pertandingan yang telah mereka lakoni.  Baik di laga pra musim, begitu pun di laga perdana EPL musim ini.  Menyambangi kandang lawannya yang merupakan tim promosi, Burnley, ia bahkan sukses menyumangkan 2 assists yang menghantar tim nya duduk nyaman di puncak klasmen sementara setelah menyegel kemenangan meyakinkan 1-3.  Hal ini tentu saja membuat banyak pihak kemudian mengkritisi keputusan manajemen Arsenal yang ogah diajak ‘balikan’ oleh sang mantan.

Banner bertuliskan “Cesc is Blue” pun akhirnya terpampang nyata di kandang Burnley sana. A bit disgusting, but that’s not more our business.  “He’s a professional player who has possibility to play in any clubs that he is suitable and required most,” said Opa.   I did agree with him.   Lagi pula sebetulnya menurut penulis both red and blue are truly in his heart since he’s originally Catalan’s soccer academy ‘product’ (IYKWIM).  Sayangnya  klub yang dicintainya forever ever after tersebut eh ternyata malah menyia-nyiakan (talenta) nya (lagi).  So what should we do? Save him again? He’s the one who chose to leave us.  Yes, I and You, we know that he’s no longer in relationship.  He’s available now.  He’s ready to re-start a new relationship with anyone else, and we’re top on his list.  People said that was what so called loyalty, he’s still faithful enough to us.  However, do we (really) need to re-unite a.k.a CLBK?

CLBK mungkin memang bukan hal yang baru dalam dunia sepakbola profesional.  Tidak sedikit pemain yang sudah melalang buana ke sejumlah klub memutuskan untuk kembali mengajukan ‘rujuk’ ke klub lamanya.  Bisa jadi memang passion pribadi sang pemain terhadap ti, atau memang termaktub dalam klausul kontrak pemain yang bersangkutan.  Flamini contohnya.  Hijrah dari Emirates di tahun 2008, dan kembali ke sana di musim lalu.  Tidak tangung-tanggung proses ‘rujuk’ yang diamini kedua belah pihak ini berlangsung mulus bahkan tanpa mengeluarkan sepeser biaya pun.  Tapi, tidak selamanya CLBK menjadi solutif dan berlangsung mulus tanpa adanya kesepakatan dari kedua belah pihak.  Toh tidak ada jaminan tidak akan putus lagi bukan setelah CLBK? Ah..time passing by, and we already found somebody to be loved again so deeply.  Maybe he’s not as awesome as we expeced yet.  But then, loves need time to grow up.  We’re still on that process to grow our love and prevent it better than ever.  Kayak mas Wasit yang sakit banget sampai trauma menikah gegara dikhianatin mantan kesayangannya dan akhirnya terobati setelah bertemu Mawar. #eeaa.

Jadi, jujur saya pribadi sih sependapat dengan sang arsitek tim, opa Wenger, bahwa tidak ada yang harus disesali dengan keputusannya untuk menolak ajakan ‘rujuk’ sang mantan anak emas didikannya.  Adapun penampilam impresif nya bersama tim nya cukuup membuat saya terusik, namun tidak tergoda sama sekali untuk CLBK dengan sang mantan.  Toh baru 1-2 pertandingan ini.  Begitu pun di kubu kami dengan sejumlah pemain yang masih dikritisi, termasuk pengganti sang mantan yang belakangan banyak dibanding-bandingkan kualitas nya dengan si mantan itu sendiri. Hello, people, he’s not even joining us after world cup. Just wait and see for him to shine so so so brightly very very soon. Too early to be compared for both of them right now.  I mean less than 5 matches is not reliable yet to be compared

Well, mantan itu, apalagi seorang Cesc Fabregas yang sangat layak dinobatkan sebagai salah satu mantan terindah yang pernah kami miliki memang memiliki daya pikat yang sulit dinafikkan begitu saja.  Kontribusi nya yang begitu besar dan nyata saat kami tengah mesra-mesra nya sungguh tak mudah dan terlalu tak layak dilupakan begitu saja.  Saya pun jujur saya di masa awal kecintaan saya terhadap Arsenal salah satunya adalah adanya faktor Cesc yang muda namun sudah luar biasa.  Bagaimanapun, pada masa nya dulu ia hampir berhasil mempersembahkan gelar yang diidam-idamkan kami semua.  Sayang, mujur tak dapat diraih, malang tak dapat ditolak.  Kita, ia dan kami, belum berjodoh untuk mengecup trofi bersama-sama rupanya. Dan pada akhirnya setelah sekian lama dipertahankan toh ia memutuskan untuk tetap pergi juga tepat setahun setelah menjadi kampiun pada gelaran Piala Dunia di Afrika Selatan sana.  

Saat kepergiannya itulah yang menurut sang professor yang patut disesali.  Tapi, apa pun itu, keputusan sudah dibuat, bubur pun tak mungkin kembali jadi nasi.  Toh kami udah berusaha mempertahankan nya selama mungkin, tapi perpisahan yang menohok hati pun tak bisa terhindarkan. Perpisahan memilukan itu biarlah menjadi kisah yang menghiasi lembaran sejarah kita berdua.  Bukan untuk dilupakan begitu saja tentunya, tapi untuk dikenang sebagai memori indah.  Show must go on, right? Jadi perpisahan tersebut mungkin memang sudah menjadi jalan yang terbaik untuk kita. Gracias, Cesc! Good luck to you wherever you are.  Probably we’re not in a romantic relationship as before, but we still remain good friend for each other forever and ever. :)

#RandomPost: A #RandomWish

Hi you readers, welcome back to my #random posting! hehe. 

Here are several things that come up to my mind recently (and of course randomly) that will be so so so good to be true…

1# The landing of Reus (along with Hummels or Khedira or any CB/DMF) to Emirates by the end of this (2014/2015) summer transfer.

2# The possibility of having another unbeaten season for the Emirates lads now on.

3# The possibility to accelerate the number of trophies at Emirates (that had been absent for almost a decade) by this season (more than two, hopefully).

4# INA to secure at least 3 titles in both 2014’ Badminton World Championship and Asian Games (MD, XD, and WD and/MS).

5# The wedding of Lee Jun Ki – Shin Min Ah in real life (along with Kang Dong Won – Song Hye Gyo and followed by Lee Seung Gi – Han Hyo Joo) (super #randomwish, right? it’s just my wish anyway, yeah at lest they got together again on screen very soon a.k.a having project together again! ;p)

6# Me my self can let everything go and restart my ‘new life’ by next year.

7# Still thinking about it ................

A Personal Confession: Being Thankful to How I Am Today


As usual, I have to make a prolog for almost of my postings.  Well, this one also need too just like others.  Why? I frequently laughed to myself every time I re-red my postings.  Sometimes I think that became too emotional or sensitive.  And probably so does with this one will lead me to laugh again later on.  Ahh..it just what I want to share with you guys, so just enjoy this as my personal postings. J
***

At this age, middle 20s, not graduated yet nor married yet. Problem? Not really for me, but yes for many people around me. Being asked and forced to do both so badly is such a common-but-tiring thing. Who said I don’t care? I want them so badly too. Unfortunately, in my opinion, God doesn’t allow me to reach both altogether recently. Why? Asking God’s decision is not a wise way.  Thus, I do believe that God has written this for several reasons that soon will be revealed beautifully.

Form my sake, being forced for the first issue is acceptable. I do realize that it’s too long for me to finish my under-graduate program.  Besides, I have to focus in many other things except my study-thingy.  Furthermore, I really miss to start studying and doing study-tasks again in new atmosphere. I’m constantly dreaming about leaving my hometown to continue my study that is going to be impossible if only I’ve finished my under-graduate program.  Hemm.. ’acceleration’ term sounds very interesting for me then. But, still, the main requirement to graduate first should be fulfilled.

On the contrary, the second one seems debatable for me. That’s too much for now one.  First of all, I’m not even reach my bronze age *CMIIW*.  Second of all, I’m not ready yet to share my life with someone. So classic? Maybe yes, but that’s the fact.  I still can’t imagine how to deal with sharing anything together with ‘stranger’.  That’s why earlier I told that I need to leave not only my house, but also my town in order to deal with that case, hopefully.  Another reason is that I don’t think I’m capable enough for now on to take care of somebody else.  The biggest evidence is the fact that I’m not graduated yet till now.  You don’t need any evidence, do you?! Above all, I still need some times to be available and useful for others while searching for precious experiences and continuously learning to be a much better person.

Well, I confess that sometime I got so jealous when I found my friend got married and had child. But I never jealous with those who just hanging around with what so-called their special friend.  Marital relationship is much more convincing than just ‘illegal’ romantic-relationship that seems delusional for me.  However, what to do when God doesn’t allow yet and so do I (not ready yet).  The best thing that I can do is praying and trying to upgrade myself so I can be a much better person to be a worthy-partner of life-to be for my future spouse and a qualified ancestor for my precious offspring. Aww. 

In addition, the fact that I start my job without having a proper certificate yet seems very frustrating once.  Even though not so many people stated objections straightly, but I felt really uncomfortable of that fact to them.  Aside of that, it’s also quite difficult for me to focus on such a particular activity due to my never-ending-deadline of graduation.  I admit that being a teacher is not my interest from the beginning, but by the time, I find it really interesting and challenging.  Being a qualified educator is not as easy as it looks like.  Not only how smart we are literally, but also how smart we manage a learning process (dealing with material, students, sitting arranging, media, evaluation, lesson plan, etc).  People might title is not everything, it’s not always that worthwhile; but still it’s necessary.

To conclude, I have no objections when people being worried of my study.  But, I’m really sorry that people being so curious or even feel pity for my romance life *halah* is no need for me, at least for these few years.  For the first occasion, I do realize how important to finish what I’ve started.  Moreover, it’s an honor to make my parents happy (and perhaps proud as ‘oh..finally my sweet girl finished her study’ ckck).  For that reason I do promise to relief everyone around me by finishing it as very very soon as possible.  However, for the second one, I can’t make any promise on fast mode.  I just can ask people to patiently wait a little longer for the next few years. I don't think to make it as fast as possible, unless He leads me to do so. J
